What they do
JOSEPHINE DE KARMAN TRUST
Are they doing good?
Some important facts are missing. Ask the charity a few questions before you give.
Here is the honest answer: A tax form shows money and paperwork. It cannot prove that people, animals, or the community were truly helped.
Good signs we looked for

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue by $3,709,534 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Pay context: The highest compensation shown in this filing is $16,642 for PASADENA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION (TRUSTEE (START 09/23)). Compare pay with organizations of similar size and complexity.
Bottom line: Good paperwork is a good sign—not proof. The best answer comes when the charity can show what it changed, who it helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
